MG Rover’s collapse is still painfully too fresh for some, even half a decade on.
That’s because it happened in modern netnews times. Where everything is real time. Everything is recorded. Nothing is lost. Nothing is delayed.
And, thanks to cheap memory, everything you read online is recorded, as it was, in perpetuity. Thus, nothing is forgotten. Raw emotions can be revived. distress can be regenerated.
Which takes us to the MG Rover saga.
I recently discovered on the Beeb, that there is a full, categorised, referenced and navigatable archive of the MG Rover saga, as it unfolded, day by day. It’s quite incredible.
Where can you find it? Well, I’ve only gone and linked to it for you: MG Rover on BBC News
It makes painful reading. The emotions may ease but the stark reality this presents will always be there. Making it a real forum for ‘what ifs’.
Reading it, how many alternatives can you see that would have saved MG Rover in its 11th hour? Do please share all…
